Locket it might help if you posted what your connection is? in order to find anything on him it will help to know something definite on how old he might have been, but not matching with that age

OK thank I this info for the death notice was sent to me I simply copied and pasted. He was born and raised in Easington, Co Durham. There is no connection.

Jacqueline Report 17 Dec 2014 14:16

I don't know where you got the death info you posted.

The GRO refs you quote are for BRIDGEND

There was no district named just 'Liverpool' in 1966

You don't appear to have taken the advice given...........

And you misread it.

The suggestion was that you ask for a report of the ACCIDENT!!!

If the info was so' important' to you, wouldn't it have made sense to have got a copy of the death cert?

Is this connected with your current request for info about a lady to whom you are not related?

Your knowledge of Mr Marr seems equally lacking in factual detail.

You say he 'came from' Easington......do you mean he was born there................or that he lived there at some stage?

Even if this man did die in Liverpool (maybe working there) if he was from the North East of England then surely his death notice and indeed his funeral would not have been held in Liverpool but back in Co Durham for his family?

HAPPY - In answer to your question; yes, the newspaper archives should go back that far. Our library has newspapers on film going back hundreds of years.

Hello,
The best suggestion has already been given and would be to email the main library in Liverpool. Give them the full name, date of when the accident occurred and politely ask if it is possible for anyone to check if there were any reports in the local newspapers. I have had some excellent help from various librarians across the country some of whom appear to love the challenge.

Ann,

Will the newspapers have achive information going back that far?

**Ann**

**Ann** Report 29 Sep 2009 22:14

Information on the death record would give his age, cause of death ,name of informant, place of death,and not sure if it will state his usual address? but somebody on here will know if that is correct.

If you are not local to Liverpool to be able to check the newspapers yourself it could be a bit tricky with you not knowing the exact date of death, should this death you have found be the right one, then you can tackle the newspapers, as the record office will search around the death date, but asking them to search a year is a bit too much. However two newspapers being Liverpool Post and the Liverpool Echo are a good start.

Birth

Name: Thomas Marr
Mother's Maiden Surname: Hartley

How can I know for sure that these are the same person? What info would the death record state? I shall take your advice and take the Liverpool newspaper angle. Thank you.

HAPPY.
A very good site for you is Durham.gov.uk.

Found this marriage
Reuben Marr married 1934 to Ada M Hope on there .
You will be able to search for births but unfortunately it doesnt give mother maiden name

Its free

The accident would be reported in the local newspaper in Liverpool. Perhaps the library might have details
